I am a 72 year old female with a long history of heart disease (double bypass followed by heart attack when one bypass failed, angioplasy, 7 cardioversions for AF) recently a double lead pacemaker has increased my heart rate from 45 bpm to 70 bpm. I am experiencing periods of mild angina. Could this be due to the increased heart beat?

Chest pain is unlikely to have resulted from the normalized heart rate. I would suggest seeking a review with your treating cardiologist for a detailed evaluation of the cardiac status. Also other possibilities of chest pain other than angina may need to be considered once cardiac issues are ruled out.
Hope this is helpful.
